Huntress

 

Skippered by Victoria Logan last year, while co-owner Brent Dowton looked after navigation in Huntress’s maiden Rolex Sydney Hobart, the Sydney 39 Cruiser/Racer was one of the 38 casualties of the harsh southerlies when she suffered mainsail damage. Huntress went on to finish the 2022 Noakes Sydney Gold Coast Yacht Race 22nd under ORCi. Dowton took delivery of the yacht in late 2020, sailing her to Tasmania from Sydney. Huntress won the 220nm South East Queensland Ocean Racing Qualifier in November from Flow Sails Yeah Baby.
